As a great westerner our rebrand was totally needed π
The "Express Sprinter" got meπ
The train that saved regional railways
The nice thing is you can connect these together to make longer trains. Or if you are Northern, just run them as a 2 on busy routes and make people stand in the aisles, if they can actually fit in, because FU.
I love 158's so much served me well for years
Saw a bumlick 158 down in Exeter a week ago. 3 carriages. 3 cabs. For some reason
Love the tiny doors πͺ chefs kiss π
Y'know, I really wish my mk3 carriages didn't need a locomotive...
i wish the class 154 remained with itβs engines, then new sprinter
They're still my favourite train. Just been on one earlier from Manchester Victoria to Leeds
Ngl I see these everyday because I get the Train to school but the 158 has small doors and it is always busy inside π
I love the way 'express sprinter' is said.
me and my brother standing on the platform waiting for the train to school. Me: sees 158. YES YES YES. My Brother: Shut up.
You missed that the final 10 158s weren't ordered by BR but by West Yorkshire PTE, and had one fewer toilet on board. Actually need to correct myself. The final build were the units for Thailand State Railways.
Backbone of our local services.
you forgot to mention that some modified sprimters went to thailand π
158 my beloved!
Love how english people name slow and discomfort trains "super fast movable thingy comforting express intercity sprinter rail-runner"
